Call for Papers:

Mediterranean Editors and Translators (MET)
invites submissions for its tenth annual
conference to be held at Euroforum, San Lorenzo
de El Escorial, Madrid, Spain from October 30
to November 1, 2014.

We invite proposals that relate to this year's
theme – Innovation and tradition: mining the
human resource – or that respond to our
association's broad interest in helping
language professionals improve the quality of
their services and their ability to respond to
clients' needs. We welcome presentations in 5
areas: 1) Business issues/client relations, 2)
Language issues, 3) Working practice issues, 4)
Technology, and 5) Research/Academia.

Priority will be given to presentations that
express a clear take-home message and explain
its relevance to our members. Typical METM
presentations describe promising practices,
report research findings, or provide knowledge
updates. Please note that MET is a
knowledge-sharing and peer-training network and
encourages submissions from both seasoned and
novice presenters with expertise to share.

To submit a proposal, please send an abstract
of 200 to 300 words and a short biography
(50-100 words) to Tom O'Boyle, METM14 content
coordinator (metm14elescorial AT gmail.com).
Your abstract should briefly describe the what,
how, and why of your presentation, in the order
that is most persuasive, and it should have an
informative title. If you would like to discuss
the suitability of your proposal before sending
in your abstract, please feel free to write to
Tom.

Presentations have an approximate duration of
20-25 minutes. The deadline for submission of
abstracts is April 30, 2014.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of
Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is
38-6005986. These donations can be offset
against your federal and sometimes your state
tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or
contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching
program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your
human resources department and sending us a
form that the EMU Foundation fills in and
returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles
the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a
moment to check if your company operates such
a program.
